"If you are wondering whether to book a tour with this company then do not hesitate, do it! The organisation, communication and professionalism is beyond compere. Aris, our guide was so knowledgeable, accommodating and patient with us all wanting to look around at our own pace. The tour took in all of the places on the island we wanted to see and he was commentating the whole way round for things that we just drove past so we were learning and enjoying the experience even whilst in the (very luxurious) minibus. Aris also took us to the most beautiful beach for lunch where we had the opportunity to swim at the most beautiful beach with clear water and use the sun loungers. Water was also provided. Absolutely fantastic value for money and a complete must do when visiting the island of Santorini, you have made us all want to come back as soon as possible! Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Aris was a wonderful tour guide! He was on time, his van was clean, smelled good and he provided water. He took us to so many hidden gems that we otherwise would not have discovered! He was patient and knew so much about the island of Santorini. Highly recommend if you want a personalized tour and don't want a group experience."

"Absolutely first class from Aurel from start to finish..Arrived exactly on time in a pristine fully air conditioned minivan, on entering the mini van free bottles of water at our seat. The tour itself was based on what we wanted and not just an "off the shelf tour". Aurel is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island.we may have started the tour as a customer but we really did leave the tour as friends. would highly recommend booking a tour with Ultimate Route santorini Tours for anyone visiting the island ..Thank you once again Aurel"

"We had an amazing day, Orestis asked us what we wanted to do and see, and what didn't want. The vehicle was clean and spacious. He was so accommodating and courteous, showed us all the sites and walked us to the best photo spots. He was very knowledgable about the islands history. Made sure we drank water and was very considerate regarding us and the heat. My wife was over the moon with our day so lots of brownie points for me. I would give 10 stars if I could. And will repeat the tour when we come back again. Brad & Daniela"

"We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Aurel on a private tour of Santorini during our cruise stop, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip! From the moment we met him, Aurel was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure every moment of our limited time on the island was used to its fullest. Aurel took us to the most stunning and iconic parts of Santorini, including Oia, Firostefani, Pyrgos village, Imerovigli, and even the beautiful black sand beach at Perivolos. Each stop was more breathtaking than the last, and Aurel brought every place to life with fascinating history, fun facts, and local insight. He was engaging with both the adults and kids in our group and truly went above and beyond to make us feel like locals, not just tourists. He was punctual, courteous, and had an excellent sense of timing and flow, allowing us to avoid crowds and enjoy each location at a relaxed pace. By the end of the day, we genuinely felt like we had experienced the very best of Santorini-even in the short time we had in port. If you're lucky enough to tour Santorini with Aurel, you're in for an unforgettable experience. Highly, highly recommended!"

"We had an absolutely incredible day in Santorini on this tour! Aris is a fantastic guide, not only friendly and engaging but so very knowledgeable about the entire Island. Our tour was well-organized, we saw highlights from one end of the island to another including history as well as current events, local information was included along with time to visit a couple of recommended restaurants for a snack, a bit of shopping as well as the black sand beach. We left with a great understanding of the island and an absolutely pleasant wonderful day!"
